Compared to last week: Slaughter steers and heifers 1.00 higher, few instances to 2.00 higher. Hosltein steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Moderate to good demand overall, for this nice offering of fed cattle, very good demand for the cattle that are Implant Free, marked as "Certified Programs" in the report, very good demand for the Holsteins this week. Estimated dressed cost for most cattle was 162.00-165.00, not all packer buyers participated but it was still a rather active market. The market was probably more active on the Holsteins where dressed costs were basically the same as the beef cattle, in the 160s. Slaughter cows steady, bulls steady to 1.00 higher.
Slaughter lambs 4.00 to 5.00 higher, feeder lambs not well tested for comparison as again most of the light lambs are going to slaughter, slaughter ewes steady to 4.00 higher. Moderate to good demand for slaughter lambs, moderate demand for feeders, good demand for slaughter ewes.
